Question

The kinetic energy of a ball with a mass of 0.5 kg and a velocity of 10 m/s is ....... J.

(Formula: KE = 1/2 mv2 )

Answer 1

Hello!

The kinetic energy of a ball with a mass of 0.5 kg and a velocity of 10 m/s is ...... J.

We have the following data:

KE (Kinetic Energy) = ? (in Joule)

m (mass) = 0.5 Kg

v (speed) = 10 m/s

Formula to calculate kinetic energy:

`KE = (1)/(2) *m*v^2`

Solving:

`KE = (1)/(2) *m*v^2`

`KE = (1)/(2) *0.5*10^2`

`KE = (1)/(2) *0.5*100`

`KE = (50)/(2)`

`\boxed{\boxed{KE = 25\:Joule}}\Longleftarrow(kinetic\:energy\:of\:a\:ball)\end{array}}\qquad\quad\checkmark`

Answer 2

The kinetic energy of a moving object is given by:

`K= (1)/(2) mv^2`
where m is the mass of the object and v is its speed. The ball in this problem has a mass of m=0.5 kg and a velocity of v=10 m/s, therefore if we plug these numbers into the formula, we find the kinetic energy of the ball:

`K= (1)/(2) (0.5 kg)(10 m/s)^2=25 J`
